Then lots of head scratching and asking what did I get us into lol

Megablade purchased end of last year and now on the road ! Never had a mot since 2018. just need some doors now the smallest puddle and you get soaked !

My son was using AI to experiment with a colour change white to purple. When he realised I was in the picture. Ruddy Kids.

Nant Ffrancon Pass Not quite a Swiss pass but not bad for just 30mins from home.

The Cow Shed, Bentonville Farm, Tideswell about middayish

From the mind and workshops of @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO, snazzy custom aluminium windscreen mounting clips for my Longacre rear view mirror. He put in a lot of effort and made several prototypes before finalising the design and testing it on his own car at motorway speeds. Notice how the near side mount is slightly longer to angle the mirror better towards the driver! Looking forward to trying it out soon once The Wench is back on the road for April. Big thanks Martyn, you’re a true star!

Nice easy oil change

When my westfield was living in a carcoon, it's back in one again this year. I just unzipped the two short sides and one long side and then moved the top over to the side which was still zipped. I'd generally put some weight in (wheely bins) and do the bubble back up. When I get back, it's re-open the bubble the same way, remove the bins and put the car back, the can cools down pretty quickly and so the bubble can be done up after a few mins. This does depend on having space to the side of the bubble to take the detatched bubble while you get the car in and out.

During summer, when I know I will ride my Westfield more often, I just drive onto the Carcoon floor and, when the exhaust is cold, cover the car with the bubble without zipping it—just using it like a regular car cover. It’s waterproof, at least for light rain, and if some water gets on the floor, it does no harm to the car. This zipping and unzipping is no fun at all

All MOT’d for 2026. Missed it this winter. Life gets in the way… looking forward to the season, Malvern and another euro trip

Collected the car from JP Exhausts, where they have made up a very tidy link pipe from the old downpipe to the new carbon silencer. Very pleased with their work.

Yes, this. I learnt this the hard way with a Triumph Herald convertible I had as a 'youngster', I would stick a plastic cover over it when not in use, then one hot day I'd discovered it had stuck itself to the paintwork and left permanent marks where it had stuck, from then on I always used a cotton dust sheet between the car and the plastic cover.

Just let the exhaust cool enough before throwing a cover on i hook mine over the head light and wing mirror to hold it out of the way if in a hurry when raining still covers the important parts
